"I'm not a coward!"
A burly soldier came out. He was one of the two who had been knocked down by Zhang Shixun just now.
"I'm not a coward!"
Another one also came out and glared at the first soldier provocatively when he walked next to him.
"Are they the only two? Everyone else involved in the fight, please stand up too. Don't let me look down on you."
Soldiers came out of the team one after another.
Even if they stood up, these people were still divided into two gangs, clearly divided.
Gao Yanei whispered, "Brother, these are soldiers from two battalions. The one on the left is from the first battalion, and the one on the right is from the second battalion."
Zhang Shixun raised his eyebrows, but said nothing. He counted on his fingers and said, "There are still three people who participated in the fight who have not come forward."
All the officers and soldiers were stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
The three soldiers walked out under the watchful eyes of all the officers and soldiers in the battalion. They had something to hide and dared not stay out.
Someone in the team stuck out their tongue and whispered, "It really is the Heavenly Master. With so many people fighting, he actually wrote down the number of people."
Another person also said: "I just saw him counting on his fingers. He is quite good at it."
"If these three thieves don't stand up, they will definitely be in big trouble."
…
He Ji shouted, "Quiet!"
After everyone quieted down, Zhang Shixun said, "Since you have violated military discipline, you must be prepared to be punished."
"Military commander, the law does not punish the masses." He Ji warned in a low voice: "If it causes a mutiny, it will be disastrous."
Zhang Shixun seemed not to have heard and held up two fingers: "I give those who participated in the fight two choices. One is to go to the military judge and receive fifty military sticks; the other is..."
Having said this, he deliberately paused.
All the officers and soldiers in the battalion were stunned when they heard the words "Fifty Military Sticks".
My God! Fifty blows from the military sticks, that's clearly life-threatening, few people can withstand it.
However, when they heard there was a second option, they pricked up their ears to find out what it was.
"This second option is simple. Anyone who participates in a fight can freely form a group of three or five people and challenge me. Regardless of whether they win or lose, they will be punished."
"ah!"
All the officers and soldiers were petrified.
Did the military commander get his brain stuck in the door?
No matter how powerful you are, you can't withstand the attacks of so many people.
Even if there are only three or five people at a time, they can't stop the large number of people. There are more than sixty or seventy people participating in the fight today.
"Brother." Gao Yanei, ignoring the officers and soldiers watching, reached out and touched Zhang Shixun's forehead: "You don't have a fever, do you?"
Zhang Shixun pushed his hand aside and glanced at the officers and soldiers involved in the fight. "I'll give you one stick of incense to make your choice."
Is there any need to choose? No one would be stupid enough to accept fifty military sticks.
A foolish soldier asked loudly, "General, when you say three or five people form a group, do you mean three or five people?"
"It's up to you, three or five. It all depends on your popularity. If no one is willing to team up with you, congratulations! You can challenge this commander alone in front of the entire battalion... This opportunity is rare, don't miss it."
Gao Yanei, who was standing by, scratched his head anxiously and said to He Ji, "Old He, he's making such a fuss that he's bound to lose face today. Why don't you try to persuade him?"
"The military commander has his own rules for doing this, so don't worry about it."
He Ji has great confidence in Zhang Shixun.
"But……"
"Don't say 'but'. Once words are spoken, they can be spilled. If he goes back on his word today, he'll never be able to stay in the First Army again."
The soldiers participating in the fight have already formed groups happily, calling each other "brother" and "brother" in a very affectionate manner.
Zhang Shixun turned around and instructed He Ji, "Old He, go and command those who didn't participate in the fight to sit in a circle around the playground in battalions."
"yes!"
He Ji agreed to go.
Gao Yanei stood beside Zhang Shixun, looking at the soldiers with concern. "Brother, I know you are very skilled, but you were a little too confident today. There are so many of them."
"Don't worry, Yanei. I never fight a battle without preparation." Zhang Shixun patted his shoulder. "Just stand by and watch the fun. Today, I'm going to beat these ignorant bastards to a pulp."
"Are you really sure?"
Gao Yanei was half-believing and half-doubting.
"Alas! Young Master, I'm being forced to join the Liangshan fight. Whether I'm confident or not, I'm going to fight this fight."
"Liangshan? Where is that?"
"That's... Liangshan, and you don't even know about it?"
Gao Yanei shook his head.
Zhang Shixun then remembered that the phrase "forced to Liangshan" came from "Water Margin".
Gao Yanei did not ask any further questions. Instead, he glanced at the soldiers who were ready to fight and sighed, "Brother, you are too arrogant."
"Don't you see? There's a reason these soldiers are fighting today. I'd rather die than believe there's no one behind the scenes fanning the flames." Zhang Shixun cracked his knuckles, making a "crack! crack!" sound. "If I back down today, these soldiers will be hard to lead in the future."
Gao Yanei, after being reminded by him, also felt that something was amiss. "When I saw those soldiers fighting, I wanted to call for help to stop them, but when I looked around, I didn't see a single officer. I felt something was amiss, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Now that I think about it, it seems like someone was really behind it."
Zhang Shixun sneered: "It's a pity that they still underestimated me."
At this point, Gao Yanei had no choice but to say, "Brother, you must be careful when you go on stage."
"Yes! I will."
